Debugging is a process of finding and reducing the number of bugs. In the web applications development we used to work mostly on the development site at first and debug the errors then we will go for the live site to just push the modifications which we made in the development site. In such cases there may be a chance of error occurrence in the live site even if we come up from the development site. Then we have to handle the debugging process in the live site at that point of time. In the development site process we can do the debugging process easily, there is no need to worry about the customers since because it is not viewable to the customers. But when it comes to the live site we have to consider about the customers who visit the site.

Drupal 6 will not allow you to create multiple access callbacks for a menu. In hook menu, the access callback will accept only string value, not an array.

We had an issue pointed out by one of our Drupal client that traffic from specific page to be redirected to another URL. In Drupal redirecting trafic from specific page on specific domains can be handle either by including a Drupal hook_init function or setting the .htaccess. Function hook_init runs at beginning of page request but it loads all Drupal modules and database for every page which results in performance issues. On the other hand .htaccess files are read on every page request and the effect to the changes in the .htaccess files is quick.
